Quick — run to your nearest dumbwaiter and hold on tight, because Tony Wonder himself — also known as Ben Stiller to all you non-magical types — is set to reprise his role on the upcoming Netflix season of Arrested Development. Cue the smoke cloud! According to EW, Wonder will be back to take on his magical arch nemsis, GOB (Will Arnett) for a single episode. And while plot details are scarce, something tells us there will be tricks and illusions aplenty. To the Magic Castle! Stiller’s Tony Wonder first appeared in Season 2 of the series, and turned up again the following season. Arrested Development originally aired on Fox from 2003 to 2006.

The list of upcoming guest stars for AD is nothing to scoff at, as Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Conan O’Brien, Isla Fisher, John Slattery, Terry Crews and the boys of Workaholics are already confirmed to be taking part in what many are speculating to be the show's final season. But don't worry about the Bluth family too much: after all, there's always money in the banana stand. Hollywood.com has reached out for comment, but did not hear back at the time of publication.

When Arrested Development returns for its eagerly anticipated 4th season this May, everyone will be laughing and riding and cornholing (except for Buster). But the 14-episode run, which will be released all at once on Netflix, might be the last the fans get of the Bluth family.

During a conference call with investors on Monday Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said, "Arrested is a unique property, we don’t anticipate being able to do season five, six and seven. It’s really a fantastic one-off which is coming together incredibly, and I think it will be amazing for us, but think of it as a non-repeatable amazing...Arrested Development is a wildly successful tactic, as opposed to fundamental to the strategy.”
I know what you're thinking: That Arrested Development isn't a "tactic" and that there's always money in the banana stand and that there should be more seasons (and a movie, for that matter). Well, you're definitely right about those first two things, and the new era or Arrested might not be, as Hastings suggested, just a one-off.

In response to that announcement, a spokesperson for Netflix told HitFix.com, "We're hopeful there will be more seasons. If anyone can pull it together, it's going to be [Netflix chief content officer] Ted [Sarandos]. But by no means is this the end of it. We're definitely planning to do more with them. We have first rights, so it's not like you'd see it anywhere else. We're absolutely hopeful there will be more."
Look, Arrested fans are a patient bunch, we've been hoping and waiting for more of the deranged comedy since it unjustly went off the air back in 2006. Rumors of it returning to television (or, in this case, the web) or a movie have been swirling for years. Now that we know for sure we'll get more of the Bluths (Season 4 will have episodes that individually focus on each character) the last thing we want to do is spend more time wondering if we'll get, well, even more.
Arrested could fall dangerously into Community territory, where fans spend more time worrying about the fate of the show's future rather than appreciate it for the piece of art that it is while its happening. Better yet, I don't want the show to feel pressure to keep performing. For all we know, this upcoming Season 4 could be a brilliant way to wrap it all up and not lose the essence of what the show is and was.

And, hey, I want as much Arrested as much as the next fan, but before I get too worked up about a Season 5 or Season 6 or even that yet-to-be-greenlit movie, I'm just looking forward to that one glorious weekend in May when I get to barricade myself in my apartment, watch all NEW episodes (!!!), and drink so much juice. It's going to be off the hook.

The dream was nice while it lasted, but it might be time for Up All Night to close up shop, officially. First, Christina Applegate announced her departure, then there was news that Maya Rudolph was pregnant: and now comes news from The Hollywood Reporter that the third and final star of NBC's troubled series, Will Arnett, has been tapped for a pilot at CBS. Up All Night, we appreciate your verve, your zest for life and to persevere above all else — but it might be time to throw in the towl. For good.
RELATED: What's Behind Christina Applegate's Up All Night Exit?
The as-yet-untitled project was written and executive produced by Greg Garcia, creator of such shows as Raising Hope and My Name Is Earl. It is said that the multi-camera comedy appealed to Arnett (over several others that were reportedly courting him) given its parallels to his own life. It tells the story of Jack (Arnett), a recently divorced man whose life gets all a-screwy when his own parents end up having martial problems at the same time. Oh, the humanity!
RELATED: Is Maya Rudolph's Pregnancy The End of Up All Night?
While the Garcia project is still officially playing second fiddle to Arnett's obligations at Up All Night, it sure feels like as good a time as any for NBC to let it go gently into that good night. How many more nails do you need in this coffin anyway, you guys? It was fun while it lasted, at least we'll always have that.

In a show that centers around the chaotic upbringing up a little baby, could another baby spell the end for NBC show Up All Night?
It sure seems that way, following the report from The Hollywood Reporter that one of the show's stars, Maya Rudolph, is pregnant. This will be the fourth child for the delightful couple that is Rudolph and her movie-making husband Paul Thomas Anderson. Hollywood.com has reached out for comment, but had not heard back at the time of publication.
RELATED: Up All Night Will Film One Multi-Camera Episode
This recent development has caused television critics to ask (for not the first, or likely the last time): should Up All Night just call it quits already? In the past few months, the show has faced an incredible number of roadblocks on the way back to the small screen.
First, creator Emily Spivey and showrunner Tucker Cawley left, forcing NBC to find a new showrunner in Linda Wallem. Tasked with retooling the show, creative changes to overhaul the series were set in motion; including a dramatic shift in format (from single-camera to multi-camera show), complete with live studio audience.
NBC decided to hold production for three months (December to February), with a plan to shoot five episodes in the new format upon return. But that plan was thrown out the window recently, with the new course of action including a single episode in the new format. At least, that was the plan until now.
RELATED: Up All Night Shake-Up 'A Bit of An Experiment' Says NBC Boss
Because the show was thrown another wrench when Christina Applegate decided to cut the cord and said sayonara to the series. And while Rudolph and the series' other main star, Will Arnett, are still technically under contract on the show, it seems as though it might be time to put the show out to pasture.
RELATED: Christina Applegate Leaving Up All Night: What's Behind Her Exit?
For the non-behind-the-screen nerds, right now is a key time for folks who work on television series, as over 100 broadcast pilots are currently being cast and staffed for the upcoming season (and its said that CBS and ABC are both hell-bent on getting Arnett involved in future series). Therefore, if a decision isn't made on the show's fate soon, Arnett, Rudolph, and everyone else will miss out on opportunities to move on. And if you weren't sure already, let us confirm it for you: jobs in television are hard to come by!
Missing out on the critical season for television's future will mean some great and talented people might end up jobless in the coming season. If NBC has any compassion at all, an exit strategy for the staff of Up All Night should be at the top of their to-do list. Sometimes the smartest move is to know when to call it quits.

Up All Night's bad luck continues: First came NBC's October announcement that the single-camera comedy transform into a multi-camera one, shot in front of a live audience, for five episodes. Then creator/executive producer Emily Spivey left. On Friday, Christina Applegate, the star of the show, announced she was leaving.
Now, it appears the original five episode order of the new format will be reduced to just one. The episode will be directed by master multi-camera helmer James Burrows, and will not feature Applegate, reports Deadline. It is still unclear whether or not Applegate will be replaced, though rumors are flying that NBC is looking at Friends' Lisa Kudrow to take on the character. NBC has no comment.
In the midst of all these changes, we're left to wonder: What will be left of Up All Night when it finally airs? Is there enough of the show left to even save at this point?

If you love Happy Endings then you’re going to be absolutely overjoyed by this news: There is a third Kerkovich sister! Yes, that's right: Hollywood.com can exclusively report that Jane (Eliza Coupe) and Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) have an older sister, and we'll meet her later this year in the Season 3 finale.
Hollywood.com recently sat down Happy Endings creator David Caspe, and after ooh-ing and aah-ing over the show’s consistently amahzing storylines, we got down to the goods: When are we going to meet more of the Happy Endings gang’s extended family? Between Megan Mullally, Damon Wayans Sr., and Christopher McDonald, the quirky show has cast some of comedy’s best and brightest to play the parents of our sensational sextet.
RELATED: 'Happy Endings' Double Recap: Who Got Engaged?!
“We’ve talked a little bit about maybe meeting Alex and Jane’s older sister. We haven’t really made a decision or figured out who would do it,” Caspe shared. Since our initial chat with the creator, we have confirmed with the powers that be at Happy Endings that the show is indeed searching for the third Kerkovich sister.
Not only will this be the first time meeting another of the gang's siblings, it'll also be the very first time fans will have heard of a third sister. “We’ve talked about it, but we have not mentioned it before on the show,” Caspe said.
One thing we know for sure is this actress will have some very high heels to fill in this year’s finale — remember last season’s perfection known as Mandonna? Of the new family member, Caspe revealed, “She out Janes Jane, and when she’s in town she turns Jane into Alex.” Yikes! So who has what it takes to be the oldest sister in this meat-loving Serbian family? We’re glad you asked!
Check out the top five ladies we think could be a perfect addition to the Kerkovich clan in our Happy Endings dreamcast!
RELATED: 'Happy Endings' Recap: The Kickball Episode Finally Arrives!
1. Anna Camp: Sure she’s a little on the young side, but for those of you who’ve witnessed the insta-classic Pitch Perfect, we know that no one can play a perfectionist quite like Camp. We’ve seen this actress portray an uptight pastor’s wife in True Blood, and watched her shine as the kind-hearted yet very opinionated best friend in The Mindy Project. Basically she’s had the personality of a Kerkovich for years now, she’s just never been on Happy Endings.
2. Malin Akerman: We’ve seen this actress in multiple hilarious roles, so we already know that she’s got the comedic chops to keep up with the Happy Endings crew. Plus she was most recently seen on another ABC fave, Suburgatory, so you know the network already has her on speed-dial.
3. Christina Applegate: Now that Applegate has decided to leave Up All Night, we imagine that her schedule is wide open. It’s obvious that multi-cam is not her thing, so she should come to Happy Endings so see what life is like when you don’t have to worry about babies and such. Mix a little bit of Reagan Brinkley‘s Type A personality and Kelly Bundy’s ditziness and we’ve got the formula for the perfect Kerkovich.
RELATED: 'Happy Endings' Recap: Friendship... It Will Kill Us All
4. Elizabeth Banks: Who wouldn’t want to have this actress as your sister? Banks is the epitome of a likeable blonde, something that Jane and Alex have perfected over the past three seasons. Plus now that 30 Rock is over (RIP Liz Lemon), we need an excuse to get Banks back on the small screen before she's whisked away to the Capitol yet again.
5. Lisa Kudrow: It wouldn’t be a dream casting unless we added the queen of quirky blondes into the mix. It's easy to list her past work and all the reasons why she'd be wonderful, but all we really have to say is it’s Lisa Freakin’ Kudrow! The woman can do no wrong.

Everyone hates Anne Hathaway apparently. When did that happen? Doesn't anyone remember how hard she worked to become a princess back when she first met Julie Andrews?
I'm sorry, but since when would anyone want to compare her body shape to a cocktail ring? You may as well shout, "I'm shapeless, but sort of round!" from the rooftops.
It's not looking great for Up All Night. The final blow to a series that's already lost many of its charming elements (its single cam format, working mom plotline, and strong female showrunner) is the loss of Christina Applegate. We still love Will Arnett, but this news makes things look pretty grim.

In roughly the same amount of time it took for me to learn how to use my heating unit in my new apartment, NBC canceled its midseason bomb Do No Harm. The Steven Pasquale-starring Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-esque medical drama premiered last Thursday, and promptly set a new record — it was the lowest rated in-season broadcast scripted series debut in history. Yes, that's a mouthful, so we'll paraphrase: no one watched it, and that's bad.

This week, its ratings declined even further, to 2.2 million viewers and a .07 in its demo. So, from now on, you'll be seeing reruns of Law &amp; Order: SVU on Thursday nights.
This is pretty terrible news for NBC, but it's even worse when you realize that roughly an hour ago, the network lost Christina Applegate from its struggling comedy Up All Night.

After NBC made the decision to transform Up All Night into a multi-camera comedy, the ratings-challenged sitcom lost quite a few of its few devoted fans. And it seems now, just months after the decision was made, the series lost a star as well.
Deadline reports Christina Applegate has decided to leave the project, citing creative differences. Said the veteran sitcom actress in a statement released to Hollywood.com, "It's been a great experience working on Up All Night, but the show has taken a different creative direction and I decided it was the best for me to move on to other endeavors ... Working with Lorne Michaels has been a dream come true and I am grateful he brought me into his TV family. I will miss the cast, producers and crew and wish them the best always."
RELATED: Can 'Up All Night' Survive the Shift to Three-Camera Sitcom?
While NBC intended the multi-camera change to give a jolt to Up All Night's system, will the series be simply too drained out without Applegate? Jury's still out — though Applegate is arguably one of the sitcom genre's most charming heroines, the actress' co-star, Will Arnett, is still attached to the show, and the network could be eyeing a high-wattage replacement. Deadline reports NBC has shown interest in another famous sitcom blonde, Lisa Kudrow.

Voiced the character of Mr. Perkins in the animated film "Despicable Me"

Cast opposite Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson in the 1970s-era sports comedy "Semi-Pro"

Co-starred with Christina Applegate and Maya Rudolph on the NBC comedy "Up All Night"

Summary

A central character on Fox's offbeat comedy "Arrested Development" (Fox, 2003-06), Will Arnett's eccentric George Oscar "GOB" Bluth II was an audience favorite that helped draw in cult-like devotees to the show. His portrayal of the middle-aged, aspiring magician and disliked son of a wealthy Southern California family marked Arnett's first high-profile acting role, though he had previously made a career as a voiceover artist. The show's success with the "alternative comedy" crowd set the tone for Arnett's future in quirky film projects where his clean cut, 1950s looks made his smug villains and overconfident dimwits all the more subversively funny. He was often paired onscreen with his wife, Amy Poehler, to great comic effect, especially in the pair's roles opposite Will Ferrell and Jon Heder in the sports send-up "Blades of Glory" (2007). Arnett found further success voicing animated family hits like "Ice Age: The Meltdown" (2006)" and "Horton Hears a Who" (2008), as well as in mainstream romantic comedy features with "When in Rome" (2010). Arnett even managed the impossible - stealing scenes from comic powerhouse Alec Baldwin in his role of Devon Banks, the corporate and closeted gay competition of Jack Donaghy (Baldwin) to run General Electric on the Emmy-winning sitcom "30 Rock" (NBC, 2006-2013). Thanks to his infectious roles on "Arrested Development," "30 Rock" and "Up All Night" (NBC, 2011-12), Arnett had finally come into his own as a proven comedic commodity.

Married Aug. 29, 2003 after three years together; Appeared together in "Arrested Development" (Fox), "Blades of Glory" (2007) and "Horton Hears a Who!" (2008); Separated September 2012 after nine years of marriage
